Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It's not that hard to be nice.
He can be very cantankerous way to often. He lied to my face & I set him straight the next visit. He's to cheap to buy a credit card machine or He's embezzling from his so called business. Darlene is a bitter woman. They both carry hug bags on their shoulders and they take it out on patient.

/!\ IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DOCTOR FOR THE USCIS MEDICAL EXAM DO NOT GO TO HIM!!!! DR BENNET IS RUDE,UNSYMPATHETIC,AND UNPROFESSIONAL. Dr BENNET was my doctor well before I went to see him for my Immigration medical exam. This incident happened last week and I swear to God I had to hold my tears before exiting his office. He will never see me again! So I had to get my medical exam for immigration purposes. If you are familiar with the process it is an important form among others and you have to follow the instructions carefully. On their website, the USCIS says clearly that if you make a mistake on one of the pages, you should start over with a new one. The doctor used correction fluid on many pages of the 19 page medical. On their website, USCIS says: “Do not use highlighters or correction fluid or tape. The scanners we use will not properly read information that is greyed out, highlighted or corrected using correction fluid or tape.”

The worst doctor I have seen in my entire life with his rude receptionist (they’re match) they should be married . Greedy and disgusting person before his title. He should not be a doctor that’s way too much for him. I would see him doing nothing because I’ll disrespect any occupation in any category. He should stay at home.

Dr. Bennett has gotten some bad reviews. I've been seeing him for a while and I think I understand the problem. I believe he is actually painfully shy. At first I hypothesized that he might be on the autism spectrum, in a good way. He is very bright, thorough, and caring. His response time is slow but not entirely absent. OK I was kidding about the autism. He's a sweet guy.

I felt the doctor was very knowledgeable and nice. The wait time was low so that was nice.

Terrible experience. Yes, I got there 10 minutes late. But then had to wait 1.5 hours to see a doctor. The waiting room was empty. There was nobody coming or going. When I finally did get to see the doctor, he had 0 bedside manner, asked minimal questions and looked everywhere but at me. He made me extremely uncomfortable. AND they didn't even have a nurse to take my vitals. The doctor took it himself. Which is fine except for how uncomfortable he made me feel. Staff is friendly and professional
